Monsaraz Gold Edition Tinto

Description

This Monsaraz Gold Edition has a delightfully self-important air – and it’s not just due to the impressive name of the cellar where it’s produced. Careful, hand-harvested grapes, combined with a 48-hour pre-fermentation maceration focusing on Alicante Bouschet, Syrah and Touriga Nacional, delivers a boldness you’ll notice immediately. The 18-month ageing in new French oak barrels adds layers of complexity and gently softens the rustic character of these grapes, without sacrificing their distinctive personality. It’s undoubtedly a wine with remarkable longevity, ideally paired with a good roasted duck with red berries, or perhaps a succulent lamb roast.
